TSP OFFICE CLOSED- QUESTION

**Rod** · 09-15-2004, 09:28 AM

So, since the office is closed, and not expected to be back online until Sep 20, does that mean that those who are invested can not get out if they wanted to?

That would also go to say that those who aren't, can not jump in... right?

If that's the case, I'm glad I'm still 100% G!

Comments?

Rod,

That is correct. Everyone is frozen. Yesterdaywent 5% C, 5% S, 10% I and 80% G. Triple Witching Friday could be interesting and I want to be out of the way.

Good for you, MT!:^

I don't know why none of us gave any thoughtto the possibility of the office closing down. It sure didn't cross my mind!

Rod,

They are home based in New Orleans. As soon as I saw Ivan is headed that way I did the switch. I should of mentioned that on this board. I bounce around between boards. I guess in the future you will have to put that in your memory banks.

Hopefully your current allocation works out for you. Oil going up and triple witching is making me nervous. MT

Yeah, I knew they were in NO, but I simply didn't think about it.

I should be alright. I'm 100%G.

BUT, I don't know if our mobile home will be (which we are currently in the process of selling)... which is located 40 miles N of Biloxi.:end:

Then again, we could use the insurance $$$!!!:!

Rod,

A lot of folks in FL are taking their insurance check and moving away. I wish you luck. Stuff can be replaced. Take care of yourself first.

I am praying for you and your family.

For those of us gamblers who like to change their investments almost daily, this is like having your hands tied behind your back. This blows.

Luckily, I am 'stuck' in a relatively safe F fund.

It'll be interesting to see how the share prices are updated when the TSP office reopens. Will it be a jump from Sep 13 to Sep 20? Or will they fill in the dates that they were closed? You'd think they would be able to see market returns for this weekand fill in those dates, even though we have to stay put.

At any rate, hope you are 'stuck' in your favorite fund.

Namor,

If the Ivan is a terrible...it could be weeks. Hopefully everyone is stuck where they want to be. :shock:. I wish I went 100% G. I got greedy and will take a hit on my 20%.

MT is right... If Ivan directly hits New Orleans, it will be under 12 to 18 feet of water.

That would take WEEKS to recover from, and get back to "normalcy".

But, I've been following the storm pretty closely... and it's a pretty safe bet that he will make landfall near Mobile.

Then again, Ivan has been VERY unpredictable thus so far.

We shall see.
